Anyone here had it? Somewhat painful and scary, if I say so myself!

I've been doing an oil cooler kit change, camcover gaskets, stat change, and numerous other bits on a nice 3.2 Elite today. Thankfully my mate was over for the weekend, so all the heavy stuff such as jacking the car, I was able to get a little assistance with. Removing/refitting the oil filter housing / pipe to block unions etc, nearly killed me

I had to leave the cambelt kit, and water pump, for another day. I just couldn't face heaving on the crank pulley

Take it steady. From the name I know it's to do with the heart area and you need to rest and heal

The consultant said it's an inflammation of the lining of the heart, putting pressure on the heart and making it harder for it to do it's job. That's all I know. I just try and forget about it and hope it'll go away

Just googled it and checked my understanding from the name... I was pretty much spot on

Forgetting about it isn't the best thing Take it steady.

Unless, of course, you want to be as stubborn and ostrich like as TB and just bury your head in the sand

Sorry TB, but you know what I mean

It's scary... I went to yank on a bar, on this Corsa, on Saturday... and I just couldn't do it!! I hate feeling like this

So rest and recover before doing much more

Strikes me that ignoring something like that could end up with more than just your head being buried!

Indeed, but I was using TB as an example because I know that James is always telling him to get things checked and take proper medical advice

  Absolutely

[tunnie]

Yup, seek some medical advice there and rest! 

[pauls]

Rest up James working to hard

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Yep..... Take it easy, James. Is there a cure?

[MaxV6]

there's a few things which cause similar symptoms.....    i take it your blood pressure is okay??


there's a viral infection of the interstitial membrane around the ribs/heart commonly called "devil's grip"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bornholm_disease

which i've had (some years ago) scary as all hell... and sometimes misdiagnosed for Pericarditis  (which i've also had , along with heart failure, Pneumonia,   super elevated blood pressure, and other joyous escapades over the last couple of years)

[MaxV6]

oh, and whatever it is, you NEED REST!!!!!   


not bloody hard work over long hours out in the cold.


you'll kill yerself like that
